We just got back from a road trip to South Carolina! It was so much fun! We have lots of pictures and videos to share!
On Thursday night we packed up the car after dinner and were on our way. I got to watch a movie, but then mommy said it was time to close my eyes. When I woke up, we were at a hotel in West Virginia. I thought it was really cool and even though it was close to midnight, I was wide awake and ready for some fun. Chase and I finally settled down and we all went to sleep. The next morning we got ready and started on our way to Mackenzie's house. On our way I saw lots of mountains and even went through some tunnels. We got to stop for lunch at McDonald's and I even got a milkshake! After lunch mommy and daddy let us play on the playground for a few minutes. Once we were back in the car we had to take naps and when we woke up, we were there. Mackenzie, Aunt Chery and Uncle Brian (aka Uncle Liken) were all there waiting for us.
After we unloaded they took us to the neat place called The Greenway. Mackenzie and I had fun feeding the animals and playing tag. Uncle Brian took us over a neat bridge and taught me how to throw rocks in the water. I even saw some horses go through the water.
After dinner that night we had ice cream cake in honor of daddy's and Uncle 'Liken's' birthdays. Mackenzie and I had fun singing Happy Birthday.
The next morning we woke up and we were still at Mackie's house. I was very excited when I remembered where I was. Her new house is really big and she has lots of fun toys that Chase and I liked playing with and she likes Dora and Diego! They even have two doggies just our size- Mr. Pickles (aka Pringles) and Gus. Saturday was Valentine's day and Chase and I got really cool presents. Aunt Cheryl bought us all something with our name on it. Mackenzie got a treasure chest, Chase got a storage box and I got a box for all my cars. When I got home last night I put all my cars in it for safe keeping. Mackenzie also got some new bracelets, which I happened to really like. She was very nice to share them with me. I was willing to trade all my toys and even eat green beans to play with them.
After Chase's morning nap we went to Plaza Fiesta. They had a really big playground there where we got to run around and play. I liked climbing and Chase liked the slides. After we were done playing we had pizza for lunch and Mackenzie and I rode a little merry go round. I was really worn out and took a three hour nap after we got back. For dinner that night we went out to eat and since there wasn't enough room for three highchairs, Mackie and I got to sit on booster seats. I think it was a little stressful for mommy and Aunt Cheryl, but we all had fun, even if we were getting a little antsy in the end. Before bed we played in Mackenzie's toy room. It was one of the biggest toy rooms I have ever seen. I had fun playing with Uncle 'Liken' and the big ball.
After we all got ready on Sunday, they took us to Monkey Joe's. It was full of inflatables where we could climb, slide and jump. I had so much fun I didn't want to leave! Mommy, daddy, Chase and Uncle Brian even had fun climbing and sliding. I was all sweaty when it was time to go, so daddy bought me an icee on our way out. It was good!
After our naps we went outside to play. I had fun playing bouncy ball with Aunt Cheryl and Chase loved the little rider car. Uncle 'Liken' even drew Swiper and Boots for us on the driveway.
Sunday night Mackenzie and I played and played. We had fun playing tag and bouncy ball. We topped off the night with a little more ice cream cake.
Monday morning was Daddy's birthday. Chase and I both said 'Happy Birthday' and gave him the present we brought along with us. While we were eating breakfast, daddy loaded up the car b/c we had to go home. We were all sad to leave.
I watched a few movies, read books and sang silly songs on the way home. We stopped at McDonald's again and we got to go over a really big bridge. I had fun again in the tunnels, but I slept most of the afternoon.
Thanks again to Aunt Cheryl, Uncle Brian for hosting us and to Mackenzie for sharing all her toys and playing with us. We had a lot of fun and hope to see you again soon. You'll like being a big sister, Mackenzie- it's lots of fun.
When we got home, daddy had to go to a meeting, but not before we sang happy birthday and blew out the candles. He also had a few more presents to open. While he was gone I recorded a special message for him. Happy Birthday Daddy!
